Displaced unstable pelvic fractures are commonly associated with disruption of the osteoarticular junction of the sacroiliac joint. Posterior sacroiliac dislocation are commonly reported but there are only few reports the anterior type of sacroiliac dislocation where the iliac bone fractures and displaces anterior to sacrum, often in combination with fractures of pubic rami and symphyseal injur...

OBJECTIVE To determine which physical examination tests have the highest sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values for determining the presence of sacroiliac joint injuries and/or dysfunction when compared with the gold standard of a sacroiliac joint block. DATA SOURCES A systematic search of the literature was conducted for articles that evaluated clinical sacroiliac joint tests for se...

Sacroiliac joint tuberculosis is rare; its coexistence with vertebral tuberculosis is even rarer, with only a few such patients reported in the literature. We present magnetic resonance (MR) imaging findings of a patient with vertebral and sacroiliac joint tuberculosis, who had paravertebral, iliopsoas, and buttock abscesses accompanied by a gluteal pus-draining sinus tract. MR imaging is the m...

BACKGROUND The sacroiliac joint is a common but under-recognized source of low back and gluteal pain. Patients with degenerative sacroiliitis or sacroiliac joint disruption resistant to nonsurgical treatments may undergo open surgery with sacroiliac joint arthrodesis, although outcomes are mixed and risks are significant. Minimally invasive sacroiliac joint arthrodesis was developed to minimize...

Study Design. Retrospective case series. Objective. To document the clinical utility of intraoperative neuromonitoring during minimally invasive surgical sacroiliac joint fusion for patients diagnosed with sacroiliac joint dysfunction (as a direct result of sacroiliac joint disruptions or degenerative sacroiliitis) and determine stimulated electromyography thresholds reflective of favorable imp...
